US Army Special Forces tracking and counter-tracking and Australian
Air Tracking and Basic Visual Tracking * How to track anyone over any terrain
with the help of the Special Forces
Tracking a human by the signs he leaves of his passing is a difficult
skill, and some of the best training in this arena takes place in the ongoing
programs run by innovative military units around the world. This Paladin reprint
gives you two military tracking/counter-tracking field manuals in one, from the
US Army Special Forces and the Australian Air Training Corps.
The American manual details how Special Forces troops track anyone
over any terrain, avoid being tracked themselves, and use canines in both rural
and urban tracking operations. It is abundantly illustrated with photos and
drawings so you can see precisely what tracks, sticks, plants and other signs
look like.
Basic Visual Tracking contains the official cadet and instructor
notes for the Australian Air Training Corps, organised in an easy-to-follow
format.
Taken together, these manuals provide an expert crash course in
locating, interpreting, and following signs on the ground. This is essential
material not only for combat trackers but hunters, law-enforcement personnel,
wilderness search and rescue teams, wildlife scientists and photographers, or
anyone who would like to know how leading-edge military units carry out this
ancient skill.
